Because the papers are so bad or because you do not want to be grading at all?

A specific kind of bad paper--the papers of students who were probably at the top of their high school classes just a few months ago, but still have no idea how to quote something and then analyze it in detail rather than saying something vague and general about it and moving on to the next general talking point. Completely predictable problem, and yet the sheer repetition eats away at the soul.

One of my friends recently found out he's going to be a father, which he announced on Facebook. Of course lots of people, including me, made posts that said "Congratulations" and suchlike. But then a person came in and said "Some of you are not parents and don't know the first thing about parenting. You shouldn't be commenting here."

She just texted and said, "My roommate and I are going out for a drink later, want to join?" Yeah right woman. Roommate there means my chances of getting you back to my apartment are further diminished. No thankz!
